SDM Foundation
About
The SDM Foundation is a Melrose nonprofit that teaches people how to use technology, entirely free of charge. Lessons cover smartphones, tablets and computers, along with email, web browsing, digital photography, spreadsheets, video chatting, passwords, artificial intelligence and spotting online scams. Instruction is one-on-one or in small groups, staff work at each learner’s pace, and appointments can be held in person or remotely on almost any technology topic.
The foundation serves older adults using technology for the first time, adults returning after years away, families who need help with devices, and anyone building digital literacy. Its goal is practical independence: staying in touch with family, reaching healthcare and essential services, managing finances and avoiding fraud. Besides individual help, it runs community workshops such as ShopTalks and writes plain-language guides and articles. Small businesses and nonprofits can also get help building and maintaining websites and social media.
